topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 8 - 12 corn tortillas
  • 0.5 kg ricotta at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 white onion, cut into 1cm thick rings.
  • 2 cans (113g each) chopped chili peppers, drained
  • 2 bunches fresh spinach (about 450 g), stems trimmed
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • Salsa verde, for serving

Preparation:

  1. In a bowl, combine ricotta, cilantro and 1 clove of garlic, season with salt.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chili peppers, spinach (in batches), and cumin and cook, stirring, until the spinach begins to wilt. Add the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook until the spinach is completely wilted, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt, transfer to a bowl, and keep warm.
  4. Heat the tortillas in a dry frying pan or wrap them in a damp towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Divide the spinach mixture among the tortillas, top with the ricotta mixture, and spoon salsa verde and fold in half. Serve with extra salsa.
